Inspection Report Summary for Cambridge Court
The California Department of Social Services’ Community Care Licensing Division conducted a series of unannounced inspections of Cambridge Court, a 740‑type group home in Fullerton. Over the span of more than two years the facility consistently met or exceeded regulatory standards, with no health or safety deficiencies cited in any of the reports. Each inspection—whether an annual required review or a case‑management follow‑up—confirmed that resident care, food supplies, facility cleanliness, and emergency plans were in compliance with Title 22 Division 6.
In September 2021 and June 2022, licensing analysts observed full staff coverage, proper personal protective equipment use, and a 2‑day perishables/7‑day non‑perishable food supply. The analyses of resident and staff rosters, as well as COVID‑19 screening and infection‑control protocols, revealed no gaps. The March 2023 case‑management visit addressed a self‑reported incident involving a resident’s alleged financial exchange with a staff member. While the investigation clarified that the resident had a history of memory issues and that no policy violations were found, the analysts provided guidance on staff–resident gift policies and reiterated training requirements.
January 2023 and May 2023 visits served to issue technical advisory notes and to respond to a legal non‑compliance inquiry, respectively. The advisory notes focused on maintaining accurate staff associations and posting up‑to‑date administrator certificates. The legal review confirmed that a witness named in an external complaint had never been employed by the facility, negating any alleged staff involvement. Throughout each encounter, the licensing program analyst offered technical assistance on topics such as N‑95 fit testing, staffing documentation, and infection‑control planning.
Overall, Cambridge Court demonstrates robust compliance across staffing, health, and safety domains. The pattern of consistent, proactive licensing engagement, combined with the facility’s responsive corrective actions when minor procedural gaps were identified, indicates a stable and well‑managed environment for its residents. No deficiencies were cited in any report, underscoring the facility’s alignment with state regulations and its commitment to maintaining high standards of care.
